It’s been an interesting week, one full of lovers, haters, blog pirates and mad cigar bombers. After running many, many data points through a 70’s style, room-sized computer in the Stogie Review command center, I’ve determined that’s it’s been just interesting enough for a Saturday Edicion Limitada. The Edicion Limitada is much like any other […]
Oliva Special S Torpedo
I chose this week’s cigar based on a rumor. Not the rumor that it is a good cigar, which I’ve heard. But because of the rumor that Oliva may be discontinuing the Special S sometime in the near future. Given the popularity of the Serie V and the production demands of producing the much hyped […]
An Illustrated Encyclopedia of Post-Revolution Havana Cigars Book Review
Wow, that’s a heck of a headline, isn’t it? It’s kind of appropriate, because I’m taking a look at a heck of a book this Saturday. Min Ron Nee’s An Illustrated Encyclopedia of Post-Revolution Havana Cigars is commonly referred to as “the Bible of Cuban Cigars.” Judging by the size of the book, I can […]
Drew Estate Java Maduro Toro
I could be that this is the week sporting April Fools day, or it could be the near lethal amount of pollen in the air here in Atlanta, but I felt like a change of pace was in order for this week’s review. And then it came to me. I do have those couple of […]

Blogs Brian’s Random Thoughts: Brian reviews a rather unusual cigar, the Olor Del Cibao Cuban Seed Tequila. Yep, […]
Cigar Bobken Cup Holder Ashtray
I know what you’re thinking. You wondering what the heck a “Bobken” is. The only answer I can find is that it’s the name of the cup holder ashtray that I’m about to review. But still, it sounds really familiar doesn’t it? That could be because you’re thinking about the old English minced oath “Odds […]
Indian Tabac Split Decision Quad Toro
One look at this week’s cigar and you’ll know why I picked it for a review. I’m a bit of a sucker for a cool looking cigar. And short of a culebra, it’s hard to find a cigar that looks cooler than a barber pole. And this week’s cigar isn’t just any barber pole. The […]
Winston Churchill No. 10
I don’t think there’s any point in denying it. I’m a cigar event whore. I love going to cigar shops to begin with, and when you add a cigar rep or manufacturer and a good crowd, it’s hard to beat. And I definitely picked the right place to live for cigar events. It’s just not […]
The Charlotte Herf In Pictures
I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking isn’t this the day you usually write a cigar review? Right you are. But the thing is that I have this unique super power. It’s the uncanny ability to come down with the cold or the flu on any holiday. So like clockwork, only short hours before I […]
